I went to Cheval Theater & I recall the main woman rider in a corset. I saw her in the stable and I commented on her pretty clothes and pretty horses, something like the best of all worlds. Her reply that the clothes were HOT & that her makeup was pretty much shellacked on to keep it from running.

No thank you... I guess I am grumpy today, but I wanted to strangle her with one of the scarves. Or at least wrap her up and hide her in the broom closet.

Eh. I saw her a couple of years ago at WIHS as their cheesy ass entertainment (much preferred it when Chester Webber drove his four in hand around the ring with the Grand Prix course set. Now THAT'S skill). The non-horse people or very uneducated ones sitting near me were oooing and ahhing at how well the horse went with "only scarves!" and what a great rider she was. Well, yeah, scarf draw reins cranking its head down. Blah. I found her extremely annoying, and still do apparently, and I know I'm NOT cranky today!
